Google's satellite writes poetry in orbit

🔥 What happened Google's satellite "MVP" ran a local AI model (Gemma 4) in space and beamed a three-line poem back to Earth. It launched October 1 on a SpaceX Falcon 9. The AI accelerators can only run for 15 minutes before overheating and needing to cool down. 💡 Why it matters Google is testing orbital data centers – a hot industry vision because space offers constant solar power. But the tech is far from production: cooling in vacuum is unsolved, and a Gartner analyst warns of data downlink bottlenecks. By 2027, Google wants two such satellites linked together. ⚡ Our take A PR stunt with a poem, but physics laughs last: 15 minutes of compute per cooling cycle is a joke for real workloads. Instead of chasing orbital dreams, Google should fix Earth-bound infrastructure – the Gartner guy is right.
